McCrary resurrects football career with Abilene Christian Wildcats

Billy McCrary packed his belongings in a Mustang and headed back to Texas from the University of California with his brother during the 2017 Christmas break.

He already had cut ties with the Golden Bears fooball program after three seasons and began the long drive home to Temple unsure what future, if any, he had left.

Fortunately for McCrary, he made a stop at Abilene Christian on the way, and he soon resurrected his career in a move that benefited both him and the Wildcats football program.

McCrary, who mainly played special teams, had surgery during the offseason and sat out the entire 2017 season with a medical redshirt.

It wasn’t good timing, either. Cal had just hired a new head coach, Justin Wilcox, who brought in a whole new staff. McCrary, who couldn’t even have contact during a nine-month stretch, knew the Golden Bears have moved on without him.

“I got buried in the depth chart, and, being far away from home, I wasn’t my happiest,” McCrary said.

So he played QB in HS? I wonder if, in his desire to have Mr. McCrary be more "dynamic" in his play, the coach puts in a RB pass play......mainly in the red zone.
